New York Knicks

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. The NBA is back. Like, really back. Not summer-league back. Not FIBA World Cup back. Not training camp back. Not preseason back. Regular-season back. The Hoop Doctors’ totally awesome, not-at-all restrained power rankings back. That’s right. After a months-long hiatus—during which time yours [...]

A lot of criticism has been bombarding Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant regarding his inability to play together with other players, and that it has been a factor leading to the downfall of the franchise. According to ESPN.com’s Ramona Shelbuirne and Ohm Youngmisuk,—Carmelo Anthony — who had the chance to play alongside the Mamba, [...]

As we head closer towards the new season, there are a lot of uncertainties hovering over the New York Knicks especially regarding the major changes they have made in the off-season. But one thing is certain, that is their forward Andrea Bargnani will be needing more time to fully recover from his injury and may [...]

Phil Jackson is ready to spend New York Knicks owner James Dolan’s money. The NBA recently reached a $24 billion TV deal with Turner Sports and ESPN, and the salary cap is expected to explode by 2016-17 as a result. Projections vary at the moment, since the NBA could decide to implement a smoothing-out process [...]

The New York Knicks have signed former Lakers center Didier “DJ” Mbenga, who played for Phil Jackson and with Derek Fisher for a couple of seasons, according to Marc J Spears of Yahoo! Sports. Mbenga, 33, won two titles (2009 and 2010) with the Lakers, but barely received playing time as their reserve center. In [...]

Bet you wish you had Carmelo Anthony’s connections. In anticipation of acclimating himself and his game to Phil Jackson’s famed triangle offense, Anthony apparently reached out to former trianglers Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, who each won at least five championships playing within the system. Their collective advice to him? Be patient. Be [...]

Three cheers for backtracking! Or rather, context! Yay, context! Carmelo Anthony created quite a stir at Knicks media day when he apparently said the following to ESPN.com’s Chris Broussard: [tweet https://twitter.com/Chris_Broussard/status/516643510192439296] For shame, Melo! For shame! How dare ye incite such bedlam weeks before the regular season, and mere weeks after the New York Knicks [...]

Did you know Derrick Rose has a crystal ball? Me either. Confidence isn’t something the Chicago Bulls point guard lacks. Not out in the open at least. Through two major, ceiling-crippling, season-sacking injuries, he’s always spoke of returning to dominance. To call him upbeat would be a stretch, since he’s extremely stoic and often stone-faced. [...]

Well, now. Carmelo Anthony had a busy offseason. He went free-agency hunting, eventually re-signed with the Knicks and even lost some weight. Things aren’t going to settle down now with training camp underway, either. He has a team to lead and a new system to learn. And a bunch of righteous, hard-nosed, reputation-defaming bastards to [...]

Five-time NBA champion Derek Fisher is about to embark on a whole new journey next season—as a head coach for the New York Knicks. Phil Jackson, president of the Knicks’ basketball operations definitely has a good relationship with Fisher especially in their times together back in Los Angeles. Together with Kobe Bryant, they both thrived [...]
